¹ H1984 Boast [H8691]   H4279 not thyself of to morrow H3045 ; for thou knowest [H8799]   H3117 not what a day H3205 may bring forth [H8799]  .

² H2114 Let another man [H8801]   H1984 praise [H8762]   H6310 thee, and not thine own mouth H5237 ; a stranger H8193 , and not thine own lips.

³ H68 A stone H3514 is heavy H2344 , and the sand H5192 weighty H191 ; but a fool's H3708 wrath H3515 is heavier H8147 than them both.

⁴ H2534 Wrath H395 is cruel H639 , and anger H7858 is outrageous H5975 ; but who is able to stand [H8799]   H6440 before H7068 envy?

⁵ H1540 Open [H8794]   H8433 rebuke H2896 is better H5641 than secret [H8794]   H160 love.

⁶ H539 Faithful [H8737]   H6482 are the wounds H157 of a friend [H8802]   H5390 ; but the kisses H8130 of an enemy [H8802]   H6280 are deceitful [H8737]  .

⁷ H7649 The full H5315 soul H947 loatheth [H8799]   H5317 an honeycomb H7457 ; but to the hungry H5315 soul H4751 every bitter thing H4966 is sweet.

⁸ H6833 As a bird H5074 that wandereth [H8802]   H7064 from her nest H376 , so is a man H5074 that wandereth [H8802]   H4725 from his place.

⁹ H8081 Ointment H7004 and perfume H8055 rejoice [H8762]   H3820 the heart H4986 : so doth the sweetness H7453 of a man's friend H5315 by hearty H6098 counsel.

¹⁰ H7453 Thine own friend H1 , and thy father's H7453 friend H5800 , forsake [H8799]   H935 not; neither go [H8799]   H251 into thy brother's H1004 house H3117 in the day H343 of thy calamity H2896 : for better H7934 is a neighbour H7138 that is near H251 than a brother H7350 far off.

¹¹ H1121 My son H2449 , be wise [H8798]   H3820 , and make my heart H8055 glad [H8761]   H7725 , that I may answer [H8686]   H1697   H2778 him that reproacheth [H8802]   me.

¹² H6175 A prudent H7200 man foreseeth [H8804]   H7451 the evil H5641 , and hideth [H8738]   H6612 himself; but the simple H5674 pass on [H8804]   H6064 , and are punished [H8738]  .

¹³ H3947 Take [H8798]   H899 his garment H6148 that is surety [H8804]   H2114 for a stranger [H8801]   H2254 , and take a pledge [H8798]   H5237 of him for a strange woman.

¹⁴ H1288 He that blesseth [H8764]   H7453 his friend H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H7925 , rising early [H8687]   H1242 in the morning H2803 , it shall be counted [H8735]   H7045 a curse to him.

¹⁵ H2956 A continual [H8802]   H1812 dropping H5464 in a very rainy H3117 day H4079 and a contentious [H8675]   H4066   H802 woman H7737 are alike [H8739]  .

¹⁶ H6845 Whosoever hideth [H8802]   H6845 her hideth [H8804]   H7307 the wind H8081 , and the ointment H3225 of his right hand H7121 , which bewrayeth [H8799]   itself .

¹⁷ H1270 Iron H2300 sharpeneth [H8799]   H1270 iron H376 ; so a man H2300 sharpeneth [H8686]   H6440 the countenance H7453 of his friend.

¹⁸ H5341 Whoso keepeth [H8802]   H8384 the fig tree H398 shall eat [H8799]   H6529 the fruit H8104 thereof: so he that waiteth [H8802]   H113 on his master H3513 shall be honoured [H8792]  .

¹⁹ H4325 As in water H6440 face H6440 answereth to face H3820 , so the heart H120 of man H120 to man.

²⁰ H7585 Hell H11 and destruction [H8675]   H10   H3808 are never H7646 full [H8799]   H5869 ; so the eyes H120 of man H7646 are never satisfied [H8799]  .

²¹ H4715 As the fining pot H3701 for silver H3564 , and the furnace H2091 for gold H376 ; so is a man H6310 to H4110 his praise.

²² H3806 Though thou shouldest bray [H8799]   H191 a fool H4388 in a mortar H8432 among H7383 wheat H5940 with a pestle H200 , yet will not his foolishness H5493 depart [H8799]   from him.

²³ H3045 Be thou diligent [H8799]   H3045 to know [H8800]   H6440 the state H6629 of thy flocks H7896 , and look [H8798]   H3820 well H5739 to thy herds.

²⁴ H2633 For riches H5769 are not for ever H5145 : and doth the crown H1755 endure to every H1755 generation?

²⁵ H2682 The hay H1540 appeareth [H8804]   H1877 , and the tender grass H7200 sheweth [H8738]   H6212 itself, and herbs H2022 of the mountains H622 are gathered [H8738]  .

²⁶ H3532 The lambs H3830 are for thy clothing H6260 , and the goats H4242 are the price H7704 of the field.

²⁷ H5795 And thou shalt have goats H2461 ' milk H1767 enough H3899 for thy food H3899 , for the food H1004 of thy household H2416 , and for the maintenance H5291 for thy maidens.
